Re: Can keyboard assignment use Windows key?



Okay, understood. I again recommend Autohotkey, especially
for using a laptop keyboard. In it, I have a little code to make the
laptop keyboard usable in terms of (mine)  having no page up/down
and dedicated home/end keys. When I'm using the Mac laptop's keyboard, I
hit ctrl-shift-m and it's all configured. When I have my external
keyboard, I hit it again and it toggles back to normal.

I agree that that's the solution for home, but the locations of the serious work I have been trying to do have been airplanes, hotel rooms, airports, ...

using the number pad is a pain (and some keys are missing altogether, if
I'm not mistaken---e.g. the * on the number pad).)

Get yourself an external keyboard. And an external monitor. The laptop
is only for the innards. (I assume you're doing the serious work at home
or in your office, not while on the road.)
